THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

I. 

The lights are out, and gone are all the guests 
That thronging came with merriment and jests 

To celebrate the Hanging of the Crane 
In the new house, — into the night are gone ; 
But still the fire upon the hearth burns on. 
And I alone remain. 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 




fortunate, happy day, 
When a new household finds its place 
Among the myriad homes of earth, 
Like a new star just sprung to birth, 
And rolled on its harmonious way . 
Into the boundless realms of space ! 
So said the guests in speech and song. 
As in the chimney, burning bright. 
We hung the iron crane to-night, 
And merry was the feast and long. 




II. 

And now I sit and muse on what may be, 
And in my vision see, or seem to see, 

Through floating vapors interfused with Hght, 
Shapes indeterminate, that gleam and fade, 
As shadows passing into deeper shade 
Sink and elude the sight. 
11 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

Por two alone, there in the hall, 

Is spread the table round and small; 




13 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

Upon the polished silver shine 

The evening lamps, but, more divine, 

The light of love shines over all ; 

Of love, that says not mine and thine, 

But ours, for ours is thine and mine. 

They want no guests, to come between 

Their tender glances like a screen, 

And tell them tales of land and sea, 

And whatsoever may betide 

The great, forgotten world outside ; 

They want no guests; they needs must be 

Each other's own best company. 

15 




III. 

The picture fades ; as at a village fair 
A showman's views, dissolving into air. 

Again appear transfigured on the screen, 
So in my fancy this; and now once more, 
In part transfigured, through the open door 
Appears the selfsame scene. 

17 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

Seated, I see the two again. 

But not alone ; tliey entertain 

A little angel unaware. 

With face as round as is the moon; 




19 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

A royal guest with flaxen hair, 

Who, throned upon his lofty chair, 

Drums on the table with his spoon. 

Then drops it careless on the floor, 

To grasp at things unseen before. 

Are these celestial manners? these 

The ways that win, the arts that please ? 

Ah yes; consider well the guest, 

And whatsoe'er he does seems best; 

He ruleth by the right divine 

Of helplessness, so lately born 

In purple chambers of the morn. 

As sovereign over thee and thine. 

He speaketh not; and yet there lies 

A conversation in his eyes ; 

21 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

The golden silence of the Greek, 
The gravest wisdom of the wise, 
Not spoken in language, but in looks 
More legible than printed books. 
As if he could but would not speak. 
And now, O monarch absolute. 
Thy power is put to proof; for, lo 1 
Resistless, fathomless, and slow. 
The nurse comes rustling like the sea, 
And pushes back thy chair and thee. 
And so good night to King Canute. 




23 




IV. 

As one who walking in a forest sees 

A lovely landscape tlirough the parted trees, 

Then sees it not, for boughs that intervene; 
Or as we see the moon sometimes revealed 
Through drifting clouds, and then again concealed, 
So I behold the scene. 



25 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

There are two guests at table now; 
The king, deposed and older grown^ 
No longer occupies the throne, — 
The crown is on his sister's brow; 
A Princess from the Pairy Isles, 
The very pattern girl of girls. 




All covered and embowered in curls, 
Rose-tinted from the Isle of Flowers, 
And sailing with soft, silken sails 
From far-off Dreamland into ours. 
Above their bowls with rims of blue 
Pour azure eyes of deeper hue 

27 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

Are looking, dreamy with delight. 
Limpid as planets that emerge 
Above the ocean's rounded verge, 




Soft-shining through the summer night. 
Steadfast they gaze, yet nothing see 
Beyond the horizon of their bovi^ls ; 
Nor care they for the world that rolls 
With all its freight of troubled souls 
Into the days that are to be. 



39 




V. 

Again the tossing boughs shut out the scene, 
Again the drifting vapors intervene, 

And the moon's palhd disk is hidden quite; 
And now I see the table wider grown, 
As round a pebble into water thrown 
Dilates a ring of light. 

31 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

I see the table wider grown, 

I see it garlanded with guests, 

As if fair Ariadne's Crown 

Out of the sky had fallen down; 

Maidens within whose tender breasts 

A thousand restless hopes and fears, 

Porth reaching to the coming years, 

Flutter awhile, then quiet lie. 

Like timid birds that fain would fly, 

But do not dare to leave their nests ; — 

And youths, who in their strength elate 

Challenge the van and front of fate. 

Eager as champions to be 

In the divine knight-errantry 

Of youth, that travels sea and land 

33 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

Seeking adventures, or pursues, 
Through cities, and through solitudes 
Frequented by the lyric Muse, 
The phantom with the beckoning hand, 
That still allures and still eludes. 
O sweet illusions of the brain ! 
O sudden thrills of fire and frost ! 
The world is bright while ye remain, 
And dark and dead when ye are lost ! 



^-. x^ 



sg 




VL 

The meadow-brook, that seemetli to stand still, 
Quickens its current as it nears the mill; 

And so the stream of Time that lingereth 
In level places, and so dull appears, 
Runs with a swifter current as it nears 
The gloomy mills of Death. 

37 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

And now, like the magician's scroll, 

That in the owner's keeping shrinks 

With every wish he speaks or thinks. 

Till the last wish consumes the whole, 

The table dwindles, and again 

I see the two alone remain. 

The crown of stars is broken in parts; 

Its jewels, brighter than the day, 

Have one by one been stolen away 

To shine in other homes and hearts. 

One is a wanderer noAv afar 

In Ceylon or in Zanzibar, 

Or sunny regions of Cathay ; 

And one is in the boisterous camp 

Mid clink of arms and horses' tramp, 

39 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

And battle's terrible array. 

I see the patient mother read, 

With aching heart, of wrecks that float 

Disabled on those seas remote, 

Or of some great heroic deed 

On battle-fields, where thousands bleed 

To lift one hero into fame. 

Anxious she bends her graceful head 

Above these chronicles of pain. 

And trembles with a secret dread 

Lest there among the drowned or slain 

She find the one beloved name. 

41 




VII. 

Ai'TEU a day of cloud and wind and rain 
Sometimes the setting smi breaks out again, 

And, touching all the darksome woods with light. 
Smiles on the fields, until they laugh and sing, 
Then like a ruby from the horizon's ring 
Drops down into the night. 

43 



LofC. 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

What see I now? The night is fair. 

The storm of grief, the clouds of care, 

The wind, the rain, have passed away; 

The lamps are lit, the fires bm-n bright, 

The house is full of life and light : 

It is the Golden Wedding day. 

The guests come thronging in once more, 

Quick footsteps sound along the floor, 

The trooping children crowd the stair. 

And in and out and everywhere 

Flashes along the corridor 

The sunshine of their golden hair. 

On the round table in the hall 

Another Ariadne's Crown 

Out of the sky hath fallen down; 

45 



THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. 

More than one Monarcli of the Moon 
Is drumming with his silver spoon; 
The Hght of love shines over all. 
O fortmiate, happy day ! 
The people sing, the people say. 
The ancient bridegroom and the bride, 
Serenely smiling on the scene. 
Behold, well-pleased, on every side 
Their forms and features multiplied. 
As the reflection of a light 
Between two burnished mirrors gleams, 
Or lamps upon a bridge at night 
Stretch on and on before the sight, 
oTill the long vista endless seems.
